The funeral was huge and elegant. My dad had just been laid to rest six feet underground with the worms and cockroaches. My eyes had been bled dry of tears. My whole body felt numb. My heart didn’t even hurt anymore.

Things have been shaky between Matt and I ever since. We got back on good terms about a year later when Matt sent me a gorgeous necklace from Russia on my birthday. I had called him for the first time since our fight and told him that the necklace was gorgeous and all, but I really wanted to see him for my birthday.
